Kier Awarded £34.5m Redevelopment Contract

Kier has been awarded a £34.5m contract to carry out improvement works for a mixed-use development in London.

Royal London Asset Management has appointed the company to deliver works at Parnell House on Wilton road, Victoria.

The works are part of the large-scale regeneration projects currently underway to develop and modernise Victoria as one of London's most desirable locations.

Kier Construction will infill the central atriums at the first six levels to deliver additional office floor area and develop an additional three floors to provide space for 14 high-end residential units.

The façade of the building will be completely removed and replaced with cast masonry columns and a mixture of bespoke curtain walling and aluminium/timber curtain walling systems.

The mechanical & electrical systems will be replaced in the building, while the office spaces are being fitted out to Category A standards. The apartments will be upgrade for the 'luxury' central London rental market.

To enable the new residential units to be built, the existing post-tensioned roof slab will be replaced by a reinforced concrete transfer structure to carry the residential column layout above.

Managing Director of Kier Construction in London, Cliff Thomas, said: "The redevelopment of Parnell House is a key phase in the overall redevelopment of Victoria. We will deliver a high-end mixed-use scheme while maintaining continuity of service for the existing tenant, J D Wetherspoon, who will occupy the ground floor of the building throughout the construction period.

"We are also mindful of party wall considerations with the Grade II listed Apollo Theatre and Neathouse Place office block, and will bring our wealth of redevelopment experience to ensure a high quality finish."

Works are currently underway and are expected to be complete in spring 2017.
